Gold price went up 3.6% in the last 10 days ! If this trend continues we could see $6000 gold by next year this time…. Wishful thinking..maybe but less than 24 hours after hitting $2900 gold is at $2926 as I type.

I question my sanity at times too Ha, I’m upping the yardage some but nothing drastic, my existing floater has 3 sluices, 2 on the front screen and one on the rear screen, the new setup is going to have a 2 screen deck, with 2 sluices on each size material, the existing floater could use a 4th sluic...

Just a few days after hitting $2800 gold has gone up to $2870 ! $3000 gold might just beat us to springtime ! Dick, New projects ! I’m building my second floater, the new one will have a shaker plant, built lighter, more sluice runs and a 40 foot stacker, the new one will eventually have a house on ...

$2800 is nice ! I wouldn’t be surprised to see $3000 an oz gold by springtime. I was talking with a couple of guys today while ordering steel for a new project and they were saying that they always wanted to try gold mining / prospecting… I told them right now would be a great time to go play and of...

And also I’ll add after re reading this thread, I run about 200 yards per day and do a cleanup after 400 yards, three separate 24” by 16 foot sluice runs of expanded metal, a couple of nugget traps included yields about 10 gallons of minus 3/8” concentrates.

A few thoughts on this.. My dredge will run 25-30 yards an hour before overrunning the sluice boxs (48’ of sluice) I have a mechanical dredge, surely you are referring to a suction dredge, both types share a few of the same principals the biggest being the tailings they generate, if your current isn...

Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New year to everyone !

Good luck to you, Be safe out there !

That looks familiar Dick, I just did the same job on my newly acquired 200-3 yours looks much easier with the help of a second excavator, I used a makeshift engine hoist in the back of my pickup, I had heard horror stories about the bolts holding the swing drive assembly in place, others back east t...

Another point I thought was worth a mention, when I got the Starlink working at camp it worked great… inside of camp (a metal sided trailer) but did not work very well outside in the camp yard, the router signal was weak and not liking the metal siding on camp, a few weeks later I moved the Starlink...
